Question

Built in the 1930s, New York's High Line railway stretched 13 miles (21 kilometers). The elevated rail carried perishables—milk, meat and vegetables—as well as manufactured goods through the city. The trains went directly through factories and other large buildings along their routes. Then, in the 1950s, truckers started carrying the same goods through the city streets and beyond. There was less need for the rail service, and traffic declined. In 1980, the final High Line train stopped running. Most of the elevated structure was removed to make way for buildings. The remaining tracks, stretching just 22 blocks along the west side of Manhattan, have been overtaken by weeds.

A trampled
B idle
C fashionable
D independent

Answer 1
